CONTINUING EDUCATION
Sentinel U | June 10, 2022
Sentinel U, a leading web-based education simulation technology provider, launched the ALIGNSM Community Health Course Digital Teaching Resources, the first learning course for community health nurses.
"We designed this program as a valuable resource and time saver for nurse educators. Building or refreshing a curriculum can take months, but Sentinel U's ALIGN Community Health resource does the heavy lifting for nurse educators with the added benefit of being easily adapted to reflect major changes to the continuously evolving healthcare landscape."
Jeffrey Caplan, president of Sentinel U
The community health course demonstrates Sentinel U’s signature teaching style of using real-life scenarios to appeal to the next generation of community health professionals. The course eliminates dependence on textbooks, making it a great option for both students and faculty.
"Today's students are digital natives who learn best when immersed in a scenario and actively participating in their education, not reading core competencies from a textbook. We are excited to take learning to the next level with our new enhancement."
Dr.Laura Gonzalez, Vice President of Clinical Learning Resources at Sentinel U.

Macmillan Learning | August 23, 2021
Macmillan Learning, a privately-held, family-owned education publishing and services company announced a new professional development series for educators to help support student engagement and success in college. The virtual “Engage Students to Achieve More” series is free for college faculty and administrators and will explore the techniques and technologies used to support active learning and student engagement in and outside the classroom, as well as timely lessons about effective teaching pedagogies gleaned during the pandemic.
Student engagement continues to be an area of concern due to educators’ diminished ability to work one-on-one with students and the decreasing levels of student motivation and morale versus pre-pandemic. It ranked as instructors greatest challenge in 2020, up from their third greatest challenge just two years ago, according to Digital Promise.
“While student engagement plays an important role in helping students in their coursework, its impact reaches far beyond the classroom,” said Charles Linsmeier, General Manager of Macmillan Learning. “In order to close COVID-19-related learning gaps, educators and student advocates are seeking new ways to best reestablish meaningful connections and timely interventions for deeper learning and engagement with their students. This is even more important with the variability and blending of synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning environments, which is the norm for many institutions for the foreseeable future.”
Throughout the complimentary virtual professional development series, which begins in August and continues throughout the fall, participants will hear about student engagement practices and solutions informed by the experiences of instructors, students, and administrators during the pandemic. The series explores various strategies, methods, and techniques that help increase students’ attention, interest, curiosity, and positive emotional connections to their learning and college communities.
